DISASTROUS FIRE.

burg.
A fire broke out in the central portion
of Wellsburg, shortly before 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, causing extensive
damage to property, and at one time en-
dangered large portion OF the city. The
flames started in the brick dwelling situat-
cd on Charles street, near the market
house corner, and soon spread 10 the
building on the corner of Market and
Charles streets, occupied by the Hernid
prin ting Office in the second story and the
hardware store of Robert Wheeler ON the
first hOOr and also reached the Seeley
building occupied by Schnelle d Char.
nock's plumbing establishment. The sec.
ond story of these buildings were soon in
a sheet Of flames
Soon after the fire commenced Mr.
Wheeler commenced moving his goods
across the street TO the nearest house. The
fire department responded 10 the alarm and
soon was pouring large stream OF water
on the flames, succeeding in extlnguishiDR
them before consuming the entire build
ings. The second story OF the corner
building aud portion of the Grimes and
the Seeley buildings were burned out. A
portion of the household goods of Dr.
Hall, who occupied the Grimes building,
WAS destroyed. The water did c0nsidcra'
bic damage to the stock of goods Of Mr..
Wheeler. Probably the heaviest damage
was sustained by Mr. Jacobs, Of the Her
aid, who also owned the building occupied
by him.
Yesterday was the day the Herald pub
lished and part of this weeks issue was
destroyed, besides the damage TO presses,
machinery and other equipments of the
Office This loss amounts 10 nearly two
thousand dollars. The Herald employees
were hard at work last night, and
the paper will he out with a little
delay. The entire loss will aggre-
gate several thousand dollars, part Of
which was caused by water. The insur-
ance is a. follows: j. q. Jacob, building,
81, 900 in the Franklin OF this city; on
Herald outfit, 81 200 in the City Of Lon
don, placed by Anderson x Atkinson; Mrs.
Grimes, building, 5000 in Peabody x
Manufacturers of this city, on furniture,
$500 in Norwich Union; DIR. Hall, library
and furniture, $500, in Fire 4 Marine, Of
this city; Robert Wheeler, s., 100 in Mag
ara of New York; Seeley building, $1,000
in Norwich Union.
The fire il supposed TO have originated
from n defective 6ue or from a spark from
a ncighboring chimney. AZ may imag-
ined, the fire created the widest excite
ment in the town, and there was no lack
Of help TO aid the unfortunate owners and
occupiers OF the property in removing their
goods or fighting the flames.
The people Of Wellsburg now realize the
great benefit they derive from their water
works, rs without it the Hre would have
doubtless spread to other and valuable
buildings

THE BROWNS ON TOP.
THE WORLDS CHAMPIONS DEFEAT THE
CHICAGOS YESTERDAY,
In the Second Game of the Championship Series After
Hard Fght-Scors Seven to FOur-Ths
Playing in Dstail-Tbs Widest EE-
cltsmsnt Among the Spectators.

ST. LOUIS, April S.-The second game
in the worlds championship series proved
to be one of the most brilliantly and stub
bornly contested struggles ever played and
the Chicagos were defeated only after a
hard battle. Carruthers pitched q magni-
ficent game and was admirably supported
throughout. He had great control over
the ball and baffled the Chicago sluggers
completely. But eight hits were made
off his delivery, which, considering the
restrictions of the new rules, was regarded
as wonderful. Pyle, on the other hand
was wild and erratic in his delivery. The
Browns took kindly to his delivery, and
at times pounded him hard. He was
superbly backed up, and Silver Flint
caught the game of his life. He not only
accepted every chance offered, but bat
ted very effectively. The crowd was
much larger and more enthusiastic than
the day previous, and enjoyed the game
hugely. The Browns took the lead III the
first inning, and scored four runs. After
Latham had been retired on Burns assist
to Anson, Gleason went to first on pretty
hit to right center, and Pyle sent ONelll
and Comiskey to bases on balls. Curt
then stepped to the plate and drove hard
line hit to the bulletin board, bringing all
in and making home run himself. The
SPECTATORS YELLED LIKE MADMEN,
and the enthusiasm and excitement for
few moments was at fever heat. In the
second inning, Gleason duplicated Welchs
drive making q home run OH beauty to
the right field seats sending Bushong home
the latter having reached first on balls.
Williamson made the only error Tor
Chicago in the third inning on tumble oil
a foul hit to him. 1t cost run as Robin
sons splendid long line two base hit to
left brought Foutz home. Chicago scored
two in the third inning on Flints pretty

effort to capture the ball, but he failed to
hold it. Sullivan got his base on balls,
and whileplaying off first, BushOng threw
to Comiskey to catch him. While he was
being run down by Comiskey and Robin
son Sunday stole home. In the sixth
their fourth and last run was scored on
Anson's three bag drive to left
centre and Flint's sacrifice. The
game throughout was replete
with brilliant fielding, and though
Gleason made two bad errors, the Browns
did the better work. A magnificent back
ward running catch by Foutz in the
seventh of Sundays bat, saved what
looked like a home run hit. Robinson,
Comiskey and Latham did great fielding
work. Welch caught several difficult flies
and did lome tall slugging. Bushongs
backstOp work was superb.
For Chicago, Pfetler, Arson, Burns and
Sunday did the best general work.

LANSING, Mich, April s-Usa FOres-
ten, a Japanese merchant Of high stand
ing here, furnishes new chapter Of ro-
nance concerning Kissane. Up to the
present there was no clue TO the where
abouts Of KisSane from the time he was in
the Nicarauga to his appearance in Cali
fOrnia. Forester supplies the missing
chapter. During the Chinese rebellion in
1857, Forester was captured by a detach-
ment of rebels and taken to Shanghai with
other japanese prisoners. Here the reb-
els were overcome by the Chinese troops
under the command of an American, who
was none other than Kissane. He had Sc
cured the favor of the Emperor through
his shrewdneSs, and was raised to the
rank of General of the Army. The young
Japanese was made Kissane's body-sery
ant. Usd and Kissane finally went TO
Europe, where Kissane visited all the
leading cities.

WASHINGTON, April S.-On Easter Mon
day Mrs. Cleveland will come in from Oak

days, to see the egg rolling in the White

spectacle to her, and is one Of the most
curious and distinctive children'S Gus

rolling at Easter Is common enough
but why the Washington chill
dren, for longer back than anybody can

of one particular spot, is as queer ~ any
thing in the mysterious region OF chlld

it originated. Ii is required OF every
President that besides giving up ms
private grounds on that day, he shall
come out at least during the after
noon, and show himself on the south por-
ticO. President Arthur always did It, ana
President Cleveland did last year and every
child who goes knows that the President
is due on the sOut pOrticO, and would De

appearance. No doubt frankie, as the
children call Mrs. Cleveland, will be anx-
iOusly expected on Monday, and her ar

PTTTsBURG, April S.-The coal miners
throughout the country are discussing the
formation of one gigantic organization by
the amalgamatiOn of the National AsSOcia-
tiOn of Miners and the Miners National
Assembly of the Knights of Labor.
Heretofore considerable jealousy has
been manifested between the members of
the two organizations, but lately the Off
cials have shown a disposition 80 agree
upon plan for mutual benefit. At
recent meeting of the Executive Board Of
the Federation of Miners 4 resolution ask
ing for conference with the EXutiye
Board of Miners Assembly, was adopted.
The plan of the Federation is that the two
Executive Boards shall meet and devise a
set of rules or laws for the government of
mining affairs. These laws are to provide
Tor representation from both open and secret
branches OF the organization. No per
son is To serve as an officer
unless he becomes member of the
Knights of Labor. 1t is understood
that the idea is to have the federation still
retain its organization with the under
standing that all of its members shall also
be Knights of Labor. This will also likely
bring all of the outside Knights into the
federation. The union miners would then
belong to both organizations. 1t il likely
that the Knights of Labor members will
agree to the conference.

One Girl Dead and "a Long List of Injured
Relief For the Homeless.
New YORK, April S.-The two hundred
residents of the tenement house No. II
Essex street, who were rendered homeless,
and thirteen of whom are in the hospital,
from burns received at the fire last night,
were given some relief to-day by dOna-
tion of $500 made by Moses Mehrback, a
pawn broker and bank director.
Many Of those taken to the Bellevue
Hospital last night were more frightened
than hurt. Following isa copy of the hos
pital record:
The rest of the injured left the hospital
after having their wounds dressed. Most OF
the injured are doing fairly we'll except the
girl W no is senseleSs, and the CrabOw family,
who are most of the time deliriOus. $1,000
will probably cover the loss to property by
the fire, and g., 900 will put the house in
repair.
The police this morning had their hands
full in keeping back about 10000 people
who visited the scene of the fire. The police
thoroughly inspected the building and as
certained that there were no dead bodies in
the ruins, as reported in some Of the morn
ing papers.

A Shrewd Game He Is PIaying-Hs Con-
nIyes at the Exposures.
New YORK, April a-'I have followed
this Kissane case with considerable inter
est, :" said Robert A. Pinkerton to-day to a
reporter:
II have not the slightest doubt" he
continued, that Kissane has been beset
by people who knew his past history, who
want to sell their silence. Kissane is a
shrewd man, should judge, and, from all
/ can make out, q man Of nerve. | have
no doubt that he has determined to throw
these people off finally, and so effectually
that they can no longer make any demands
upon him. He has done it by the course
that l think he has taken. i do not be-
lieye that his exposure is the result OF any
bungliug on the part of his lawyer. l
think it had design and a purpose in 1t.
Instead of letting these people do it who
threatened, probably, to expose HIM, he
has done it himself Ithas been done very
effectually.
''Now how can he meet these people,
even if they should trouble him again, and
say: Now everybody knows who | am,
what l am, what have done, aud You can
do your worst Ii he has adopted this
policy he has acted wisely, for to try to
silence those people who reprOach you with
your past history, is like trying to I'LL
bucket that has no bottom in it with
water. / notice it stated that Mr.. George
II. PendletOn and Ex-senator Pugh were
Kissane's bondsmen. | don't think that
there is anything in that, because 1t IS not
unlikely, in view Of all the circumstances,
that both of these gentlemen were OF the
opinion that Kissane was innocent"
J. B. Hart says that the story published
about KisSane having married lady III
Cleveland, under the name OF Berger, Is
totally false. Kissane was arrested In
1853, was convicted in the spring of 1854,
and remained in prison until 1855. He
could not have married this lady in Cleve-
land when he was occupying Il. New York
